spyguy Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Avoiding stuff like antifreeze specials, invented by our now blind Russian friends. Blended whisky. Most Caramel flavoured industrial alcohol advertised as Canadian whisky. My mum bought me a bottle. It was discounted to 5£ a bottle 30% Even the tramps avoided it. Coloured wine. An offy in Dundee used to sort its wine by colour - blue, green, red , yellow (left to right), and by proof ( top to bottom) Alchi/scratters/Neds fortified wine. Tetleys. Great for hydrating down a mine. Sh1t for drinking. Gin, when drunk by a woman. Turns then nuts. Absinthe, when drunk by my brother. Turns him mental, then pukes everywhere. Vodka, when drunk by my. Ive only drunk vodka once, half a bottle at 17 in 30m. I puked for 4h. Dessicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Hartman Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Australian beers, universally shite. Jeagerbombs - Phase one of the projectile vomit. Jack Daniels - Alcoholic syrup. Aftershock et al. - Medical waste. The hipster competition to see who can over-hop a beer the most is getting tedious now, a bit of hops is ok but the trend of piling it in is rendering some beers virtually undrinkable.

Sgt Hartman Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I like a gin, especially on a hot day. Currently working my way through a bottle of this, it's stonking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not gin, you need your eyesight testing before you reach for the bottle. looks a bit niche, can you give us more information on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Hartman Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Ha! Sorry should have made the distinction. I'd be a bit worried if my gin looked like that! Not a huge amount to add, I visited the distillery years ago in the highlands and picked up a bottle to keep me company as I travelled round Scotland. I may have got through a few. The younger ones are relatively ubiquitous but a bottle of it holds the record for the most expensive I've seen. 60 years old and I think it was around 15k or something. An expensive tipple!

The Masked Tulip Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Stick to a babycham or a snowball, either with a cherry in it, and you will not go far wrong. Might even make some new friends at the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
